Last weekend, the weather was warm, and we had the windows open. We could hear children playing outside. Silence for a few minutes, punctuated by occasional screams, laughing, and running. It sounded like they were playing hide and seek. Then, I happened to look out the window and I saw a pair of little girls on the top corner balcony of the building across from me. One was lying prone and aiming a squirt gun that was as big as she was (a super soaker, or something similar) through a small gap in the bottom of the balcony railing. The other was acting as a spotter with her head poking over the railing and looking around the corner. They were accurately aiming and leading to hit running kids on the ground with water from about 4 stories up. I have to admit that I was impressed.
